Boy howdy! I was at Sandpiper pier sunset before last throwing my cast net and noticed

a bird floating/paddling on the water. Reached down to reload my net and herd a

swooooosh sound. Looking up all I see is a triagle fin and alot of wavy water, no bird.

For 15 to 20 seconds I watched as the critter cirlced and tore the water up. Oh

did I mention that I was wading these waters just a few days ago with my 4 year old son???

Big shark!!!

At the back of the subdivision is the pier. East of I-HOP

I live very close to that and I have seen no less then 30 of them in a school right off my pier in about 3 feet of water.I'm not sure what kind they were but they were all about 3-4 feet long.No monsters though, but I still would'nt want to go swiming with them.

Last summer I saw several there!

At the end of the pier the water is up to your chest. I know it is shallow, that was why it surprized me so much. You should have seen the water that it was pushing up... looked like a bulldozer moving underwater. After I saw it, I went home. Funny thing is that my father in law had just told me to wade out there and use the cast net to catch some real fish. Should I be worried about him?
